An interesting battle for humanity and its self destruction!

Legend of Legaia was a great game, but some aspects I couldn't handle. The constant battles got really annoying while trying to work your way through the land and beginner RPG fans might find this one a little long (and it's just one CD! ). The battle system although unique can get pretty tiresome after a while. It has it's good points as well. The graphics are excellent and the story line is pretty good and the fact that you can absorb enemy monsters and use them for yourself is a bonus. Overall it was a good game to play.

Good Game, but I'm stuck!

I love RPGs, and even though LOL doesn't compare to Final Fantasy, it was more than worth the price. The inventful story and the colorful characters bring the RPG together. However, I am stuck in the dead tower and I am trying to get to the bottom. Any help out there?

TOTALLY AWESOME

This is a must own game!!! People say that the story line in it isn't that great, well, they arren't lying. There is a mute boy, a retarded girl and a fighting monk. However, rpg's arent always about sotry line.... its the amount of fun you have while playing it. There is an evil mist that has invade the world and you have to revive many trees to get rid of it. However, it isnt that simple. Inside the mist there are thousands of blood thirsty beasts and Seru, which you must capture to summon spells. The bosses in the game are awesome...and the last two bosses really get your heart pumping. It took me the maximum amount of time to beat the game, which is 99:59:59. I spent alot of time traing for one of the boses(Xain) but after that the bosses were a snap. The game however has excellent graphics and reccomend it to everybody who loves rpgs!!!!

The Best RPG Ever!

This is the first RPG I've ever played and the best in my opinion. I came across this game on a demo disc and tried it out. After I tried it out I found out that the type of game that I love is RPGs. I would reccomend this game to anyone that loves RPGs. A mist covers Legaia causing the helpful seru to go insane and kill people. Vahn, Noa, and Gala must defeat the mist.

I adore this game. While it may not have the deep stoyline of games like Xenogears or FFVII, it is definately a game that will keep you up playing for awhile. The graphics are, on average, well done, and the battles are beautiful. My only gripe is the music. While the tunes won't make you hit the mute button, there are no awe-inspiring scores. Other than that, this is a wonderful game.

A suitable respite between FF releases

An important comment I should make first is that after having been a long-time Squaresoft RPG apostle, I'm certainly biased when it comes to rating other games of the same genre. Variety certainly is the the spice, they say, so I truly do have to recommend Legaia to those new this particular branch of gaming. The learning curve to this game is surprisingly low, considering the broad range of techniques all three characters learn or "discover" throughout the game's 50+ hours of play (I like to dawdle, especially when building levels is concerned). I found the menu descriptions regarding such things as items, summoning creatures, etc. to be just as straightforward.

Of course, the graphics, when compared to Square's two recent FF incarnations, pale considerably. However, as polygon-based environments go... it ain't bad! Yeah, the overworld certainly could have used a bit more octane (you move across the terrain as if each step were an inch), but the camera wheels itself about rather fluidly as you move throughout the various villages and dungeons. The fighting sequences, though, truly serve as the game's strongest pull. Full-sized representations of each of your three characters appear, awaiting your series of commands to have them fight, summon a creature or use an item. While this choose/watch/choose/watch routine might seem a little lazy or offputting to some, the game allows for combos depending on the techniques you employ. And, Legaia encourages experimentation along these lines because there are many techniques or "arts" that can only be discovered, not learned. Additionally, the summoning creatures seem to whisper in the way of those from FFVII and VIII (though I really have to side with Square on this issue, for nothing seems as cool to me as seeing the many faces of Bahamut from VII :) ). The magic these creatures implement certainly is worth the view; what's more, the more you summon your acquired creatures, the stronger they become. So Legaia definitely boasts a reasonably comfortable marriage between hand-to-face combat and the razzle-dazzle spectacle of magic.

Of course, I have to offer the good and the bad. The major disappointment to this game, to me, was the incredibly dull and underdeveloped plot. The "Get the bad guy" motif certainly has been the staple of most RPG's, but it seemed especially unfocused if not completely contrived in Legaia. Moreover, the dialogue between the characters and the many faces you encounter throughout the game struck me as being, well, immature. Noa, the female of the trio, true to her feral upbringing, seems driven solely by her emotions... or rather histrionics. :) If she's not giggling she's bawling. Ah, well, everyone's a critic. Even so, this truly stands as a division between my appreciation for FFVII/VIII and Legaia: conversations that really seem more mature than watered-down Saturday morning cartoon fare. Additionally, the soundtrack didn't keep me overly involved as there really weren't that many tunes to the game.

Nonetheless, I'm impressed that so much fit onto one Playstation CD. :) I'd say rent it first, see what you think, then buy it for the long haul. If anything, you could exchange it for a Final Fantasy title. :)

This Is A Rock Bottom Game!!

I love this game. From the graphics to the intense boss battles, this is a great game any hardcore role playing gamer would want. I am in Ratayu right now and there is a huge monster named Jaggurnaut eating inicent women! It is a very suspending game. I never want this game to end! I'm 14/(at least)60 hours into it. It is one of the best games on the earth!! Attention, IF YOU ARE SMART YOU WILL BUY THIS!!!

Legend of Legaia is one of the best games ever made

Legend of Legaia was the first and best RPG I have ever played. The combat system is great, the graphics are great, the characters are great, the plot is great, everything about this game is great. It has a few problems like the legth it takes just to move around in map mode and the time it takes to gain levels but these problems are elimanated later, when you get more items.

I find this game extremely interesting and fun. I reccomend it to any major or minor rpg'er!!!! It is basiclly about Vahn, Noa, and Gala, 3 chosen by the Ra-Seru to free the world of the cursed mist. Near the end, your thrown back in time to open the gate to the absolute fortress. But anyway, it rulez!!!! :> If you want codes for it, you can ... find some. By the way, the fight scenes rule!!!!!!!

very good but, I've seen better.

I saw this game at toysrus .com and I read some reviews. It looked good and so I bought it. The music is okay, and the graphics are awesome, but it lacks a solid storyline. Dont get me wrong this is a good game but, Im not a big fan of the t.a.s. (tacticle arts system). you just punch in, up down left or right untill the art's box is full, then you just watch. The caracters are pretty cool and and all but it doesn't have any involving gameplay like zelda and f.f. And in times it gets boring but, if you like the T.A.S. you will LOVE this game.
